Question

help explain and answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

you should add 29 / 24 to get 5 / 6 into -3 / 8

Answer 2

Let the number be x. Then,

$\frac{ - 3}{8} + x = \frac{5}{6}$

$x = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{ - 3}{8}$

$x = \frac{5 \times 4 + 3 \times 3}{24}$

$x = \frac{20 + 9}{24}$

$x = \frac{29}{24}$

$x = 1\frac{5}{24}$
